Ketron is a small company and the R & D for the Audya probably cost them a tidy fortune (Particularly with the sliding release dates) so it’s unrealistic to expect it to be cheap. (The big 3 probably spend more on bottled water in a year, then ketrons entire yearly budget)

Can’t wait to try it myself, however it won’t probably be until the Festivals in April/May (This also has the advantage of being able to try the rest side by side with it)

BTW Roland released the prototype E80 at Blackpool, (3 months before launch) so who knows there may be another one added to the bunch.
